COBALT26sd

Elegance with a dash of rugged decadence and a dose of mod-esty, the 26SD is ready to accept all challenges, and she does it with style and class. Even more impressive are her inner values. The 26SD will answer your every demand for performance, adaptability, genuine innovation in the service of an entertaining and confident day on the water. Ready with all the wide-open spaces of a deck boat, waiting with all the power and agility of a sport boat, the 26SD is every bit as much about skiing and wakeboarding as about quiet conversation on a leisurely cruise. The 26SD’s Carolina flare and high freeboard will create a ride as comfortable in coastal chop as on a mirrored lake, a hull equipped with the extended running surface that delivers quick-ness to plane and controlled stability in turns. Cockpit and bow alike are multi-taskers, the seating convertible every-which-way, the head compartment large enough to be a changing area, and the stereo with technology of the day.

And while we are at it, let’s not forget our beach boarding ladder, which is perfect for going sea shelling. Convenient and easy to deploy, just step over the bow and feel the sand between your toes. As you step toward the transom, the integrated platform with swim step will keep you and all aboard entering and exiting the water safely. It’s all here, everything necessary to keep the crew at ease.

With excellent driving dynamics and a high level of user com-forts, the 26SD pampers your family and crew with first-class luxury found in every Cobalt. Isn’t that why you are here to begin with? You’ve earned it. The Cobalt 26SD - leadership has its privileges.

Versatility defined. Luxury exemplified.

What prove to be, in memory, the adventures of a lifetime.

Who can say when first you heard? The multicolored minute when the open water spoke, and the dream began. Try now. To this day, can you report the moment? Can you reach back and listen again to that faint call, a sun-flecked whisper -- relentless as a mother’s summons -- coming from just beyond the farthest thing a kid could ever hope to see.

At Cobalt, we build boats that answer the call. It is a relationship like no other – owners and their boats. It is that first grip at the helm that releases a sense of assurance down the spine. At that very moment…a promise is made. With each ride, with each cruise comes conversation, laughter and pure enjoyment afloat. At that very moment, a bond is formed on trust, but not just that, a type of trust that feels like family. And with that trust arises a certain lifestyle, an opportunity for families to come together and enjoy what life is truly about. It is a type of confidence that only a Cobalt can instill in its owner.

Our Cobalt family believes we have a unique opportunity to enrich life, to help create life-long memories, to arouse a passion for the boating lifestyle. We vow to work tirelessly, creating the most innovative, well-engineered, and best performing boats imaginable. We vow to let our work be consumed by every little detail, every aspect of fit and finish.

This classic tradition will continue in our daily pursuit to build not just boats, but deep personal possessions. We will continue on with our philosophy of compromising absolutely nothing, especially when it comes to constructing piece by piece a watercraft that will create memories of a lifetime.

We are excited to share Cobalt’s passions and why we do what we do for our customers everyday. You drive us to perform everyday. Thank you and welcome to the family.

Customer Inspired Innovation

Swim Platform FunctionalityCobalt’s swim platforms are large, welcoming and safe, suspended just above the waterline for easy use in all water-born activities. Oversized, polished stainless steel tubing wraps every platform to protect the boat when docking. Cobalt’s exclusive and patented swim step requires only two easy flips: down to use, back to stow. The swim step makes boarding your Cobalt a breeze, and provides a perfectly cool resting area. Illuminate the platform above or below the waterline with option choices to suit your desires.

Industry Firsts and Real-World Across five decades, Cobalt brought innovative functionality to the marketplace. Across five decades, other marine manufacturers have seen fit to copy the thoughtful design that has always defined our boats. Again this year, we will show an entire industry exactly the way to go.

¬ A Cobalt first: the integrated bow eye with a scuff plate for protection from trailer marks

¬ Cobalt was the first stern drive builder to feature the walk-thru transom, today, all our models are equipped with either a single or dual aft passageway for easy boarding

¬ Stainless-steel adjustable poles to secure and tighten bimini tops with our innovative built-in turnbuckle -- no fabric straps here

¬ Quick-release fender clips utilize stainless steel sockets for perfect placement and convenient deployment

¬ Cushioned storage lids with double-knuckled hinges to hold the lids open for easy access to the compartment below

¬ Our often-imitated, never-duplicated flip-lip seat bolster – the captain sits high and comfortable, enjoying the full thrill of the ride

¬ A safer latch for the windshield walk-thru, holding the door securely open – yet another Cobalt first

¬ Perhaps the most imitated component of performance in the boating industry, Cobalt’s extended running surface for quicker planing, firm and true turns, minimized bow rise, and greater lift at the stern

Finely Detailed Interiors

The technical word is “interface,” those sensory exchanges between boat and owner, those points of contact so fundamental to the enjoyment of a day on the water, so critical to the determination of a boat’s long-term value. Glance at any cockpit and witness the full effect of a Cobalt interior – straight, smooth, uniform, and very, very good looking. Better yet, cruise a Cobalt at first opportu-nity for some meaningful, memorable interfacing of your own.

Start at the helm, where strength meets stylish strength. Rock-solid fiberglass substructure rides beneath upholstered good looks, as optional Ebony Macassar trim adorns the helm’s metal panels. The instrumentation and its mountings borrow from aircraft and jewelry designers alike. Stainless steel switch mechanisms are firm, sure, and sturdy.

Cobalt upholstery involves the fingers. Butter-soft and bull-strong, as tactile as they’re easy on the eye, always double-fastened with both adhesives and staples, and stitched with meticulous preci-sion. Underfoot, the carpet or optional Seagrass flooring is snap-down/snap-out, rubber-backed, backed again with skid resistant no-flex composite flooring under all, and heavy. Heavy far beyond any marine standard.

¬ Precision-sewn interior details

¬ Double-needle stitching

¬ Seats that convert to a sun lounge

¬ Deep bow and cockpit seating

¬ The warmth and feel of premium materials

¬ A hand-crafted helm with detailed double-stitching

¬ Ebony Macassar trim

¬ Digital multi-function gauges

¬ Aircraft-inspired stainless switches

¬ Honeycomb composite core integrated in flooring – optimized strength-to-weight ratio, with improved sound and vibration dampening

Exceptional Methods of Construction

At Cobalt the hull means hand-work, with every layer rolled a by craftspeople who believe that yet one more careful pass just can’t hurt. And so the layers accumulate, eight altogether on the hull bottom and a full sixteen at the keel. Reinforced with Kevlar® and then strengthened again with Spraycore®, the hull’s structure hardens into the critical component of the legendary Cobalt ride

The quality of the mold equals the quality of the finish, and so hand-waxing follows after every other part. Old finishes are reworked after every ten parts. No power buffers are allowed, and therefore no unsightly marks or patterns are left behind. And because time in the mold ensures integrity, flexible strength, and year-to-year dependability, the long hours spent in the mold matter even more. Every Cobalt hull cures and cures a while longer – well beyond normal industry standards.

Cobalt longevity is obvious, some of the reasons why less so. Invisible compos-ites, hyperlight and hyperstrong, compose every Cobalt transom. No wood there, not in that all-important forcefield. No wood either in the polypropylene structur-al honeycomb of the floor. Nor in the all-fiberglass stringers where a methacrylate bonding compound adds lifelong permanence. No wood in the water-impervious roto-cast seat bases.

¬ Z-Thane™ strengthening, protective barrier coat in the hull – A Cobalt exclusive

¬ Completely hand-laid hulls, reinforced with Kevlar™

¬ Composite construction on all structural components

¬ Cushioned lids with knuckled hinges for easy, open access to storage compartments large and larger still

¬ Exceptional hardware, largely stainless, over-sized, over-strong

¬ Graphics deep and strong in the gelcoat

¬ Integrated bow eye with a scuffplate for added protection

¬ Hand-lamination, up to 16 alternating layers of fiberglass mat and woven roving
